Have you ever wondered how rich is Corbin Bleu, as of early 2016? Sources estimate that the size of Corbin’s net worth is over $4 million. He has been accumulating this amount of money not only through his career as an actor, but also through his career as a musician. Another source is coming from his modeling career.
Corbin Bleu Net Worth $4 Million
Corbin Bleu was raised with three sisters by his father David Reiveres, an actor, and mother Martha. At the age of two, he started working as a child model in many different commercials. During his childhood, he was also very interested in music, and studied ballet and jazz at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy. As a four-year-old boy, Corbin signed a contract with the Ford Modeling Agency in New York, and began working professionally as a model. When he was six years old, he made his debut appearance as an actor in the theater production “Tiny Tim Is Dead”. He attended Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where he won the award in the category of Theatre Student of the Year in 2005, and later attended the High School of Performing Arts in New York.
In 1996, his family moved to Los Angeles, which only helped him to further develop his career as an actor. His first role was the appearance in the “ER” in 1996, and two years later, he was cast as Johnny in the film “Soldier” (1998). In 1999, he was cast as Butch in the film “Mystery Men”, and the same year, he was featured in the film “Galazy Quest”. His net worth began slowly to rise, as he was cast in roles roles in several films and series, also boosting his popularity.
With the beginning of the 2000s, his name became well known in the entertainment industry, appearing in films such as “Catch That Kid” (2004) playing Austin, which was his first lead role, and two years later, he was chosen for the role of Chad Danforth in “High School Musical” (2006), a role he reprised in sequels “High School Musical 2” (2007), and “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” (2008). This role only increased his net worth, and also his popularity, securing him roles in high production films and TV series. Some of them include appearances in “Hannah Montana” (2006-2008), “Free Style” (2008), “Jump In” (2007), “To Write Love On Her Arms” (2012), and “Sugar” (2013).
Most recently, Corbin was featured in the TV series “One Life To Live” (2013), “Drop Dead Diva” (2014), and films “Megachurch Murder” (2015), and “Ovid And The Art Of Love” (2016), in which he played the lead role of Ovid.
Apart from his acting career, Corbin’s net worth has also benefited from his musical talents, as he has released two albums; his debut release came out in 2007 entitled “Another Side”, peaking at the No. 36 on the Billboard top 200 chart, selling more than 120,000 copies. In the same year he won the award for Best Male Singer. His second album was released two years later, entitled “Speed OF Light” (2009), achieving moderate success with the public.
Regarding his personal life, Corbin Bleu is engaged to actress Sasha Clements, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2011. In free time, he is a volunteer who works with several organizations, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Starlight Children’s Foundation. Beside that, Corbin is recognized as a supporter of Do Something, a non-profit organization that motivates young people to take part in national campaigns.

Quote
1
[on finishing shooting the last scene of High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)] To maintain our manhood, we didn't cry in front of everybody. We waited until we got back to the makeup trailer and then let loose. Just six of us were there - and, of course, we just broke down.
2
[on career choices] When you're a kid you have grand ideas to become a lot of different things. I wanted to be a marine biologist. I wanted to be a plastic surgeon. Eventually it came down to two directions - a pediatrician or an actor.
3
You name a show business faux pas and it has happened to me - from pants with the zipper down on the red carpet to having hair that looked like I put my finger in a light socket. It's kinda like that naturally so when it gets freaky looking, it gets really freaky!
4
We've been having a lot of fun, and it's always great to be back with these guys! I'm a very social person and all of us got close on set! - On the High School Musical cast & tour.
5
I mean, to see somebody else when they put so much work into whatever they do... that inspires me. My dad, he does that very much so. An actor that I really look up to is Johnny Depp. The amount of work that he puts into his stuff, he is such an amazing actor, I think!
6
I'm a very outgoing person. I'm always happy, I'm one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else, they'd say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.
